¶ Apre sa, Lespri Bondye pouse Jezi ale nan dezè a pou Satan te ka tante l'.

Jezi pase karant jou ak karant nwit san manje. Apre sa, li vin grangou.

Lè sa a, Satan pwoche bò kote l' pou sonde l'. Li di l' konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, bay wòch sa yo lòd pou yo tounen pen.

Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri: Moun pa kapab viv ak manje ase. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Bondye tou.

Apre sa, grandyab la mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Li mete l' kanpe sou pwent fetay tanp lan.

Li di Jezi konsa: Si ou se Pitit Bondye, lage kò ou anba. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Bondye va bay zanj li yo lòd pou yo veye sou ou. y'a pote ou nan men yo, pou ou pa kase zòtèy pye ou sou okenn wòch.

Jezi reponn li: Men sa ki ekri tou: Ou pa dwe seye sonde Mèt la, Bondye ou.

Satan mennen Jezi ankò sou yon mòn ki byen wo. Li moutre l' tout peyi ki sou latè ansanm ak tout riches yo.

Li di l' konsa: M'ap ba ou tout bagay sa yo, si ou mete ou ajenou devan m' pou ou adore m'.

10 Jezi reponn li: Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan. Paske, men sa ki ekri: Se Mèt la, Bondye ou, pou ou adore, se li menm sèl pou ou sèvi.

11 Fwa sa a, grandyab la kite l'. Latou, kèk zanj Bondye pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo sèvi l'.

12 ¶ Lè Jezi tande yo te mete Jan Batis nan prizon, li wete kò l', li ale nan peyi Galile.

13 Li kite lavil Nazarèt, li ale rete nan yon vil yo rele Kapènawòm, ki te toupre lanmè Galile a, sou tè moun Zabilon ak moun Neftali yo.

14 Konsa, pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre:

15 Peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali ki sou wout pou ale bò lanmè a, peyi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, peyi Galile kote moun lòt nasyon yo ap viv la,

16 pèp ki t'ap viv nan fènwa a wè yon gwo limyè. Limyè a klere pou moun ki t'ap viv nan peyi ki anba lonbraj lanmò a.

17 Depi lè sa a, Jezi kòmanse ap mache bay mesaj li a. Li t'ap di: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Paske, Bondye ki wa nan syèl la ap vin pran pouvwa a nan men li.

18 ¶ Antan Jezi t'ap mache bò lanmè Galile a, li wè de frè: Simon, yo rele Pyè a, ak Andre, frè li. Yo t'ap voye privye nan lanmè a, paske se pechè pwason yo te ye.

19 Jezi di yo konsa: vin jwenn mwen, m'a fè nou tounen pechè moun pito.

20 Lamenm, yo kite privye yo, y' ale avèk li.

21 Jezi vanse pi lwen, li wè de lòt frè, Jak avèk Jan, pitit Zebede yo. Yo te chita nan kannòt yo ansanm ak papa yo, yo t'ap repare privye yo. Jezi rele yo.

22 Lamenm, yo kite kannòt la ansanm ak papa yo, y' ale avèk li.

23 ¶ Jezi t'ap mache toupatou nan peyi Galile a. Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan sinagòg yo. Li t'ap anonse Bon Nouvèl peyi kote Bondye wa a. Li t'ap geri tout kalite maladi ak tout kalite enfimite pèp la te ka genyen.

24 Toupatou nan peyi Siri a, se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non li. Se sa ki fè yo te mennen tout kalite moun malad ba li, ansanm ak tout moun ki soufri doulè, moun ki te gen move lespri sou yo, moun ki soufri malkadi ak moun ki paralize. Jezi geri yo tout.

25 Yon bann moun t'ap swiv li. Yo te soti toupatou: te gen moun Galile, moun Dis Vil yo, moun lavil Jerizalèm, moun Jide ak moun nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a](B) by the devil.(C) After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b](G)

Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,”(I) he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c](J)

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d](K)

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(L) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e](M)

11 Then the devil left him,(N) and angels came and attended him.(O)

Jesus Begins to Preach

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,(P) he withdrew to Galilee.(Q) 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum,(R) which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill(S) what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
    the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
    a light has dawned.”[f](T)

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(U) has come near.”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(V)

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,(W) he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter(X) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,”(Y) Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.(Z)

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.(AA) They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.(AB)

Jesus Heals the Sick

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(AC) teaching in their synagogues,(AD) proclaiming the good news(AE) of the kingdom,(AF) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(AG) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(AH) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(AI) those having seizures,(AJ) and the paralyzed;(AK) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[g] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(AL)

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become [a]bread. But he answered and said, It is written, [b]Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the [c]pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,

[d]He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:

and,

On their hands they shall bear thee up,
Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, [e]Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and [f]worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, [g]Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

12 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15 [h]The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
[i]Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the [j]Gentiles,
16 The people that sat in darkness
Saw a great light,
And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death,
To them did light spring up.

17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left the nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, [k]James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

23 And [l]Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the [m]gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, [n]possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.
